...principles
which govern CivilService employment
1. The Principle of Merit and Fitness
The merit and fitness system is the process of promoting and hiring government employees based on their ability to perform a job, rather than on their political connections. A person’s qualifications are to be determined by competitive examinations as far as practicable. The system secures efficiency in government service and promote social justice because it guarantees equal opportunity to all deserving applicants that desires a career in public service. This principle is used as a method in determining appointments in the civilservice, as stated in article IX, section 2, paragraph 2 of the 1987 Philippine constitution, “Appointments in the civilservice shall be made only according to merit and fitness to be determined, as far as practicable, and, except to positions which are policy-determining, primarily confidential, or highly technical, by competitive examination.” The examinations are held by the CivilServiceCommission annually. Other than competitive examinations there are other methods in determining merit, by investigation of school records, experience in actual work, achievements attained that is relevant to the position to be filled and etc. Another basis would be the Presidential Decree No. 907 which grants honor...

...and limitation, and definition of terms.
Introduction
As the term is understood today, CivilService refers to “a body of professionals, full-time officials employed in the civil affairs of a state in a non-political capacity.” This means that a Civil Servant is one of a body of persons who are directly employed in the administration of the internal affairs of the country and whose role and status are not in any way political, ministerial, military or constabulary. In other words, the Civil Servant is one who performs the huge kaleidoscope of services ranging from administrative to scientific to professional to general services such as those provided by the street sweepers, the postman, and the fireman.
CivilService is also the term used “to describe servants of the local, state or central government employed as civilians. In the US the term is often used to described that part of the government service entered by examination and offering tenure”
The functions of the CivilService are to lead and initiate the professionalism of the commission, promote public accountability in government service, adopt performance-based tenure in government and implement the integrated rewards and incentives program for government employees.
It was on September 19, 1900 when the Philippine...

...the major changes that have taken place in the
UK civilservice over the last twenty years'
The civilservice is very much the backbone of UK government, underpinning Britain's governmental system. This essay will aim to explain and analyse the changes in the civilservice over the past twenty years, starting with an overview of just what the civilservice is.
Thecivilservice differ from the government and the ministers within it in that they are politically neutral and are permanent  they do not change when governments do. There are two types of civil servant, they being generalists and specialists. Generalists have the ability to adapt to the needs of different departments and often move from one department to another. Specialists on the other hand are just as the name suggests. They specialise in one area (department). They are unlikely to change departments through out their career, meaning there is little possibility for their careers to progress to the highest level of civilservice.
Most civil servants fit the stereo type of having been educated at public school, and of having been to Oxbridge, with this ringing true for the past twenty years. However, the last two decades has seen a shift in both the backgrounds of civil servants and the...

History of Psychological Assessment: Chinese Use of Essay Examinations for CivilService Selection
The early Chinese process (650 to 1905) for selecting civil servants or public officials provided the model used by most contemporary societies. The process included the employment of assessment tools or tests that centered upon merit instead of family or political associations. This innovative manner of providing jobs to the masses by way of assessment played a fundamental role in both the social and intellectual lives of the majority of Chinese citizens. These premodern civilservice assessments, believed by many to be to be an obstruction to the development of a progressive Chinese state, instead had a positive influence on the manifestation of China as a modern country. Civilservice examinations in early China were based on classical education and found to be as suitable for selecting those considered to be elite by way of service to the state of China as those chosen by the budding independent countries of early modern Europe; furthermore, “classical assessments were an efficient educational, political, and social construct that met the needs of the prominent families” (Keju, 2007, para 31) as well as...

...long held view of negativity against civil servants and to that end, the term bureaucrat has become one of insult. In fact in 1982 a poll showed that 74% of US citizens thought that Federal Government was being badly run. The same is true of the UK, where the civilservice and civil servants have been synonymous with delays, paper work and interference. Indeed the latest head of the CivilService, Sir Andrew Turnbull, who is often thought of as a CivilService modernise, especially by the Prime Minister, was brought in to do just that to the CivilService.
The main similarity between the two bureaucracies is that the heads of government appoints the heads of when the position arises. This usually occurs, in the case of the UK, when the present head retires. In the US it is not uncommon for a new President to replace the head of the Bureaucracy when they come into power. In the UK CivilService, the head of the service also assumes the role of cabinet secretary. The main need for a bureaucracy in the first place, in either system, is because of the amount of information that is available on any specific topic. It is utterly ridiculous for a single minister to be able to absorb and digest all the information to then produce a clear judgement based on the information they have received. In the...
